Most first-time investors learn the market by losing money to it.

• In Nepal and India, a new investor funds a real account and clicks buy before understanding a stop-loss. The market charges tuition for every lesson.
• Practice tools that exist are English-only, built for US markets, and treat learning as a funnel to a brokerage.
• The result: most beginners quit within months, convinced trading is gambling — and the next cohort repeats it.

A practice ground that runs on the real market — in your language.

• Three boards, one coin wallet: 30 NEPSE, 30 NSE and 30 US stocks on a live-simulated engine anchored to real price levels.
• Real mechanics: market and limit orders, stop-loss, targets, leverage, short selling, P&L — with nothing at stake.
• 117 lessons with explainer videos in Nepali, Hindi and English; a swipeable Watch feed; quizzes.
• A verified-only, moderated community (chat, friends, polls) — no tips, no scams. Weekly leagues, streaks, a daily Bull-or-Bear call.
• Nepal IPO tracker, price alerts, shareable trader profiles. Free, no ads, no fee per trade.

A market of first-timers, with no practice ground.

• Nepal's retail investor base grew fast with online IPOs and Meroshare; most of those investors have never had a place to practise.
• Every existing simulator is built around US markets and English. NEPSE, NSE and Nepali/Hindi are the gap.
• A market is a market anywhere: the same engine, lessons and community carry to India and beyond — we already run three boards.
• We are in Kathmandu, build everything in-house, and ship weekly. Nobody else is doing this from here.

Free to learn. Paid for by what people choose.

• The app is free with no ads and no fee per trade — the promise that makes it a learning product.
• Revenue: optional coin top-ups (Rs. 100 = 1,000 practice coins), course unlocks, and a cosmetics shop (Yatra Bazaar).
• Coins never become real money. StockYatra is not a broker, exchange or adviser and executes no real trades.
• Next: B2B — practice accounts for brokers' new clients, colleges and financial-literacy programmes; sponsored learning content.

Data, language and community are hard to copy.

• Proprietary behaviour data on first-time investors in Nepal — published in aggregate at stockyatra.com/data, which earns links and trust.
• Content in Nepali and Hindi, with lesson videos, that took months to produce and keeps growing.
• A community with rules (verified-only, no tips, moderators) that people invite friends into.
• One team, one codebase: engine, apps, site, video pipeline and community tools — a meaningful release every week.

What funding buys.

• Lumi, the AI coach: explains your own trades and mistakes in your language.
• The StockYatra Cup: public monthly tournaments with real leaderboards and prizes.
• Verifiable certificates for completed courses; public trader profiles with shareable cards.
• More markets and native features; a stronger first week to turn one-trade sign-ups into thirty-trade learners.
• A small team in Kathmandu: engineering, content in three languages, community and growth.
